Past Nor’easters Interns:

“Interning for the Nor'easters proved to be a dynamic and invaluable opportunity for me. The smaller size of the front office lends itself to collaboration with not just other interns but with the Owner, GM, Ocean City community, and even the players themselves.  I was empowered by the organization to bring new ideas to the table each day. This internship directly contributed to my opportunity to work with other professional sports organizations and influenced my decision to pursue a graduate degree in Sports Industry Management.”

- Daniel O’Connell, Front Office Administrative Intern. Daniel has gone on to work with the Pawtucket Pawsox, the Boston Red Sox Triple-A affiliate.

“Working with the Nor’easters was an incredibly vital experience for me. Not only was I able to write stories and work with members of the Front Office and Technical Staff, but I was able to give insight and opinions on several occasions about the different aspects of communication within the club.  I had never expected to be so directly involved with the everyday functions of the club.”

- Zach Rayment, Communications Intern
